I now see godliness is more than the outside and this world's passments and their buskings [i.e., ornaments and fine dress]. Who knoweth the truth of grace without a trial? O how little getteth Christ of us, but that which he winneth (to speak so) with much toil and pains!

He can have but little knowledge of his own heart who will deny this. On the other hand, who that is holding on in the ways of righteousness, does not daily ascribe his steadfastness to the influence of that grace which he receives from God; and look daily to God for more grace, in order that he may be "kept by his power through faith unto salvation (Zech. iv. 9)?" No man can in any measure resemble the scripture saints, unless he be of this disposition. Why then must these things be put in opposition to each other, so that every advocate for one of these points must of necessity controvert and explode the other? Only let any pious person... examine the language of his prayers after he has been devoutly pouring out his soul before God, and he will find his own words almost in perfect consonance with the foregoing statement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The strongest man upon Earth is he who stands most alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57029]]></link><description><![CDATA[The strongest man upon Earth is he who stands most alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves. for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5694]]></link><description><![CDATA[And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves. for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not sure people realize how big it is to be at the top of the pyramid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41644]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am not sure people realize how big it is to be at the top of the pyramid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46229]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people think that meditation takes time away from physicalaccomplishment.
